Books

Sometimes I read

to get the adventure.

Or the suspense.

Or the Romance.

But most of all,

I read

For reassurance

That everything

will be okay

That nothing

won't not be

That everything is

going to be

all right

That the problem will be

resolved

Between

Darcy and Elizabeth

Bingley and Jane

Best friends

Family

Eragon and Aria

School

The King and I

Money

Beliefs

Harry and Voldemort

Because in books

They will

Resolve

No one has lose their house

No one has break their heart

Nothing scary has to happen

Anyone evil can be defeated

No one has to die

And if they do happen

Its okay

Because it't not

Real

And everyone

Knows

It will be okay

But life really is like

A story book with

Princes

Frogs

Wishes

Superpowers

With the steady, constant things

The new page every so many lines

Every page number in chronological order

Period at ends of sentences

But also with

The different smells of each book

The plots twists

The different messes on each page

The bent spine

And so I look to

Books

But for more than the

Story
